Life just gives you day by day
And the nights for more hours of pain.
Life just gives you a smile some days.
And you'll keep on parting day by day.
Give me rain, oh Lord, rain,
That's the way to help me through,
To take the pain away from me,
From my chest. Oh Lord, give me rain.
Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength,
Though the pain will ban my way.
Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength,
'Cause we need that so bad.
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains,
Though the pain will ban my way.
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains,
'Cause we need that so bad.
Give us rain, oh Lord rain, for our roots
To grow again; take the pain away from us,
'Cause we need that so bad.
And the nights for more hours of pain.
Life just gives you a smile some days.
And you'll keep on parting day by day.
Give me rain, oh Lord, rain,
That's the way to help me through,
To take the pain away from me,
From my chest. Oh Lord, give me rain.
Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength,
Though the pain will ban my way.
Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength,
'Cause we need that so bad.
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains,
Though the pain will ban my way.
Give me brains, oh Lord, please brains,
'Cause we need that so bad.
Give us rain, oh Lord rain, for our roots
To grow again; take the pain away from us,
'Cause we need that so bad.
